CCM HOCKEY PLAYER OF THE MONTH – GREGORY TRUDEAU-PAQUET, (F) FRENCH RIVER RAPIDS: The opening month of the campaign was an impressive one for Trudeau-Paquet and he registered a league-high 17 points in 10 September contests.

The 18-year-old from Sudbury scored eight times, including a game-winner, and added nine assists during the time frame as he etched his name on the scoresheet eight times in those 10 outings.

He presently sits tied for the NOJHL scoring lead and is second in goals.

CCM HOCKEY DEFENCEMAN OF THE MONTH – DAYTON MURRAY, (D) POWASSAN VOODOOS: Murray has been an offensive force for Powassan while also bolstering the Voodoos’ defensive corps for the defending NOJHL champions.

September saw the 20-year-old from Spruce Grove, Alta., produce 13 points for his side, including eight goals in that span.

Murray currently leads all league defencemen in both tallies and points with nine and 14 respectively.

His seven power play markers top all skaters in the NOJHL and he’s tied for third in overall offensive production.

In five starts during the month that was, the soon-to-be 20-year-old netminder from Richmond Hill, Ont., had a 4-1-0-0 record while allowing only six goals against and posting a league-best two shutouts.
